AI agents for legal

AI agents for legal teams that read first and quote the source

Legal work starts with reading: a vendor's NDA, a lease, a court notice, an intake email. Legal agents do that first read, quote the passages that matter and prepare the draft or the summary. They give no legal advice, they cite only documents you supplied, and an attorney reviews everything before it leaves your office.

Six reading and drafting jobs for a legal desk

Contract review against your playbook

Sets each clause beside your standard position and flags the ones that differ. Every flag quotes the clause and shows your preferred wording next to it.

NDA triage

Sorts incoming NDAs into three piles: matches your standard terms, differs on named clauses, or contains a term you marked as a stop. An attorney reviews all three piles, and the sorting sets the order.

Intake summaries

Turns a web form or an email inquiry into a one-page matter summary and a list of names for the attorney to run through the conflict check. The attorney decides whether to take the matter.

Deadline extraction

Reads a court notice or a contract, pulls out the dates and periods it states, such as 30 days from service, and shows each beside its passage. An attorney calculates the deadline under the court's rules and puts it on the calendar.

Version comparison

Compares your draft with the version the other side sent back and lists the changes, including clauses that were moved or reworded, for the attorney to check.

First drafts from your templates

Fills one of your own templates from the matter facts and returns a draft with open fields highlighted. The draft uses your templates, and the attorney checks any wording that is not from them.

From a pile of documents to findings with the source beside each one

Comes in

Contracts and notices Word files, PDFs, scans of court notices
Intake Web forms and inquiry emails
Your playbook and templates Standard positions, clause library, forms

The agent

Legal agent

  1. Reads the document end to end
  2. Compares it with the playbook or template
  3. Quotes the passage behind every finding
  4. Says so when your sources do not cover the point

Goes to

The attorney's review queue Findings with clause and playbook side by side
The calendar, once confirmed Deadlines with the notice they came from
The matter folder Summary, comparison and draft, filed by a person

The agent reads from the folders and the document system you open to it, and writes only to a review folder. Filing, sending and calendaring stay with a person.

When a legal agent is worth the build

Pays off when

  • The same few contract types cross your desk every week and you already know your standard positions, even if they live in one partner's head
  • Intake emails and forms pile up faster than anyone can summarize them
  • Deadlines are copied by hand from notices onto a calendar
  • Your documents sit in a shared drive or a document system the agent can read

Skip it when

  • You review a few contracts a month: the compare function in Word and a one-page checklist do the job for free
  • You want legal research or an opinion on a question, because the agent cites only what you supplied and a research service built for case law fits that need better
  • You have no written standard positions yet, so the first job is writing them down, and that is attorney work

Priced by document type and connected systems

One process: $2,500 to $6,000, 2 to 4 weeks

One workflow running end to end, or one internal tool.

Connected systems: $6,000 to $15,000, 4 to 8 weeks

Several systems made to work as one: integrations, roles, reports.

Contract review against one playbook, or NDA triage, usually lands in one process. Intake summaries plus deadline extraction, wired to your document system and calendar, are connected systems. Model usage depends on how many pages you feed it, and we estimate it from your monthly page count in the written review.

Care $300 to $500 a month. Active $750 to $1,500 a month. AI model usage, GPU time and hardware are paid to the provider, on accounts in your name.

Questions attorneys ask

Does the agent give legal advice?

No. It reads, compares, summarizes and drafts, and it gives no legal advice to clients or to staff. An attorney reviews every output before anything is filed, sent or relied on. Phone callers get the same boundary: see how intake calls work on the personal injury law page.

Could it invent a case or a clause?

It is built to cite only documents you supplied and to say so when they do not cover a point, and the attorney checks every citation. Every finding carries a quotation and its location, so the attorney can check it in seconds. Before launch we run it against 20 to 50 of your past documents and compare its flags with what your attorneys flagged.

Where do client documents go?

Accounts are opened in the firm's name, and you decide which matters may use an outside model at all. For contract review the contract text goes to the model we name, such as Claude or Gemini, under the provider's paid API terms, which we confirm for the exact service before any document is sent. Matters that must not leave your network can use an open-weight model running on your own server.

Can we rely on the deadlines it finds?

No. It proposes each date with the passage it came from, and an attorney confirms or corrects it before it reaches the calendar. We test the extraction on your past notices first. A missed or miscounted deadline is the costly error in this work, which is why that step has a person in it.

Who runs the conflict check?

Your attorney, in your own system. The intake agent lists the people and companies named in the inquiry so nobody has to reread the email to build the search. It does not accept the matter or reply to the prospective client with a decision.
